Part 1 (the original thread)--

Pearsonvue "Trick". Is this TRUE? Does it Work Every Time?

Poll to take once you have received your response--

Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

Here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the NCLEX exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to http://www.vue.com/NCLEX.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

? click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

Very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; It just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.

You need to check with the BON because you trained outside the US they may still want to know that you have met their requirements. I know of several nurses myself included that still had to meet BON requirements when endorsing license

Im on the same boat as you are!!!

I took my exam last thursday, 3/17th, my 3rd attempt. The 2 exams failed and it let me go all the way to cc page. I tried the trick today and i got the good pop up page. Im hopeful i passed this time. Ive been checking CA BON since saturday my name is still not posted. And still not posted today. I have a friend that took hers on Thursday and saw her name on Tuesday, this was last year. So maybe this year is different? I was hoping mine would be the same. That's 5 days of waiting already. I didnt want to do the trick after taking my exam because I did that with the first 2 and i was really upset. So this time I thought I'll just check my name online. But it's not posted yet!!!

I'm crossing my fingers and praying that tomorrow our names would show up.

Good pop up = passed. :ancong!: PVT really works!!!Don't doubt it, you did it. I hear that CA takes a little longer on some than others, Tx does also. It may depend on how ur name comes up in the pile of the test takers that passed. Try not to stress too much, you got this. :dancgrp::yeah::nurse:

The first time I took the test and did the Pearson trick, it took me al the way to CC which means I failed and yes it's true. I just took my test again this Monday and this time that famous error messages popped up. So if this trick is true then I passed this time around. Don't feel so bad, sometimes it happens to the best of us. Keep studying and next time you take the test make sure to really look at the questions and take your time. I rushed through my test the first time around and did not prepare myself enough. Good luck to you and remember to stay positive. BTW praying helps too;)
